Polly walks forward, slowly swinging her sword in wide loops. "So why did you shoot at us? What do you know about us? Who sent you?"

"I was hired by this guy named Kolvak, he told me that he suspected this group of six travelers were holding Princess Lirah hostage, and they have intruded Semun Castle. He told us we had to bring at least one of them back alive if we want to get our money, and if we betrayed him, such as leading you to him, we were to have our heads chopped off."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Caya mutters, "The damn guard," quiet enough the spy wouldn't hear.
To the spy, she says, "If you're hiding anything from us, there'll be hell to pay. I want to know more. Tell us about Kolvak more. Everything you know." Intimidation: 16

To the spy, she says, "If you're hiding anything from us, there'll be hell to pay. I want to know more. Tell us about Kolvak more. Everything you know." Intimidation: 22
Laying horrified the web he's trapped in, he speaks shakily and quickly. "I-I-I-I-I don't know who he is! All I know is that he hired me, those two, and our whole cult to kill all of you! That's all I know about him! I swear to Tiamat!"
To the spy "where were you supposed to take us and how were you going to get paid? How many more of you are after us?"
Still shakily, he says "He was going to p-pay whoever was able to bring... him... their bodies, and there are al least 100 more of us across the kingdom searching for you. There is no way for you to avoid them. I am not allowed to to tell you where it is, bec-c-cause I-I'd get my head... chopped off for... it."
Caya pulls the crossbow bolt from earlier out of her leg. "Catch!" she says, chucking it at Brightmoon. "You might need it for our friend here."
Turning to the spy, she raises her eyebrows. "You think we won't kill you if you don't tell us the location? If you tell us everything, we'll let you go. You can run, flee. Or..." She draws her sword. "You can die now. And..." Caya points to her holy symbol, an amulet. "I can curse you so you'll die in the afterlife ten thousand times."
She smiles at the spy sweetly. "So let's start over. Answer the questions or... 'chat' with my friend. Where are you from, is the rest of the guild more or less skilled as you, why exactly did you swear to Tiamat, and where were you supposed to bring us? Answer honestly... I can detect lies." Caya casts Zone of Truth (saving throw 15 charisma or can't lie.) Before she casts it, she warns the others to back out of the radius of the spell so they don't have to tell the truth.

The thief picks up his crossbow, and points it towards his head "You... will... never..." then presses the trigger before he finishes the sentence, his head falls face first into the sticky web. Motionless. Lifeless.
"Ah, great. Some kind of cult following us, does someone have the ability to interrogate the dead?"
Does Tuner know anything of this cult they talked about (or can he find any clues on the bodies of the spies)? (Or is it just "the cult of bahamut" that is after us?)

Brightmoon ask Mason if he can take down the Web. He allows considers the spy's words based on his knowledge of the kingdom and cults (history: 6 , religion: 9)
Polly calls her newly-raised specter over to her. "Anything you wish to contribute to the discussion?" she asks, eyebrows rising. "I know you can't speak, but give me a nod if Kolvak is with the kinsguard."
(The specter will be with the party until the end of Polly's next long rest. She will have him scout ahead of them, and keep watch when they do rest.)

The specter does not give any answer, not a nod nor a shake. (I forgot to post this, but no, specters are unable to answer your questions.)

Brightmoon half turns to group and winks "Well since he can't tell us more, do one of you want to finish him off, or should I?"
Pulls out his very wicked looking dagger.

Brightmoon helps Turner search the bodies (investigation: 27) mad at himself for not making sure the prisoner was secured.
You were only able to get 8 crossbow bolts and the hand crossbow from Spy 1. The web is in the way of getting anything from spies 2 & 3.
Make a History check
History: 20
You do not know or remember anything about who could be after you.
Brightmoon ask Mason if he can take down the Web. He allows considers the spy's words based on his knowledge of the kingdom and cults (history: 6 , religion: 9)
You don't know of, or remember any cults like this within the kingdom, and they're not of any religious lore you know of.
Mason drops concentration on the web
Lot's of stuff ...
